  1. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 With a busy week ahead, I asked Kanu why he could see himself hypothetically picking Texas in the end. "I mean, shit, I can play football," he said. "That's it. That's why I can see myself there. It's the same thing everywhere. I'm trying to play. I'm trying to make an impact." I MEAN, SHIT, FULL ARTICLE BELOW. THAT'S IT. Ohio State DL transfer Hero Kanu visits Texas, talks Longhorns chances Hank South (Horns 247)

  2. First - I commented in the AFC title game thread that if any former Horn was perfectly suited to play for a team with massive media distractions and hate and a target on their back every week then it's Worthy. Dude craves attention and loves the spotlight and plays with a chip on his shoulder every time he takes the field. That out of the way - KC doesn't win that game without Worthy. 101 yds from scrimmage on 8 touches with a touchdown. He had a ton of doubters coming into the league but he's proven he can hang and just balled out on the 2nd biggest stage in the game. Hate the Chiefs or not it's fun to see him out there killing it and only gives Sark and Co. more recruiting ammo to keep getting top flight WRs.

  4. We are in peak offseason form if we have people talking themselves into believing a guy we offered halfway through his sophomore year, who has been on campus 5 times in the last 18 months and who we did a sit-down school visit with not even 7 days ago is somehow not at the top of our board. I wonder if a guy who is currently 275-280 at 17 years old with a dad who played DT in the NFL will put on weight when he gets to college. A real mystery.

  8. This isn't really specific to the most recent election, as this guy has been going through it for years. It really breaks my heart, honestly. Wrestled w/ him in high school. Good dude, but dumb as a rock. Never expected him to go to college and be a doctor or anything like that - figured he would end up working Parks and Rec somewhere within 50 miles of HS. Went into the Navy for a couple of years, got out and went into the Army after a couple of years as a civilian. Involved in a training accident that eventually cost him both his legs, above the knee. He's been in VA hell for the last 15+ years w/ them giving him the runaround, and him not having the mental capacity to understand what's happening or the ability to navigate the system. I know enough about his situation to follow from a distance, but not the details, so don't come at me w/ some gotcha shit about how he could have helped himself - I'm not him. He has moved from NH to SC to GA trying to be near the right VA hospital. He settled in Frisco and is now married to a full-on MAGAT w/ a disabled kid that needs 24/7 care. I have suspicions that she is with him as a way to access his gov money, but it's not like dude is getting a mint, so maybe that's just my biases. Shortly after their marriage, I unfollowed him on FB because of her posting and tagging him in all her propaganda BS. This is from last week - N is her son, who is developmentally disabled and in a wheelchair. Like, wtf? Last night, I got a DM from him letting me know he's coming to Austin next week and wants to meet up. I want to see him just to be a human and a friend from HS and show him love, but there's no fucking way I could be in the same room w/ that woman. Don't get me wrong, he's dead red himself, but he doesn't (or at least didn't) live in that MAGA blinded world. But I have a ton of Trumpy friends and can work around their bullshit for a couple of hours socially, so long as we focus on sports or reliving the past or whatever. I respond that it's going to be tough for me to meet up, but hopefully we can make it happen, and ask why he's coming to Austin. His response: So, the best states are True Blue? No way! Kinda feel like him and his wheelchair are being used for props. Guy is going to leave thinking he's done his part to help, and he will have, but it will be for naught. His efforts won't help, and the situation won't change.

  9. You guys are hyping Justus Terry in ways that aren’t doing him any favors. I don’t get it. He’s not even close to 300 pounds and will be undersized in year one. He’s probably going to be awesome, but expecting true freshman DTs to win the day is not a good recipe for success.

  13. I own a small construction company and we do a lot of roofing and painting. I talked to a crew leader a couple of days ago about this ( it was a kind of interview to see if I wanted to hire him for roofing). He is an illegal immagrant working here and working the system. He is a Trump supporter and he supports getting rid of undocument workers. He said his crews think the same way. Far out.

  14. Without revealing too much about myself, the county voted Democratic, the mayor is a Democrat, and the city council is mixed. However, state politics aren’t focused on undermining education or women’s health, which are my two top priorities. I’m also confident that I won’t have to deal with any immigration-related issues. I spoke with the chief candidly and he and I are on the same page. Thats all I can ask for, and more than Texas will ever provide.

  19. SIAP but I've listened to some notice that when Elon says or tweets controversial, people excuse his behavior and lack of control due to Aspergers or just being weird. However it's been noticed that he's NEVER said something controversial or negative about China. He surprisingly has a strong amount of control of never criticizing the Chinese govt or system. Why? Because he needs them more than they need him. Basically the same with Russia even though I doubt his financial exposure is the same with Russia. He knows exactly what he's doing when he criticizing western democracies because he can with no material impact to his net worth. If he criticizes China, they would close his Tesla plants and perhaps cause the whole company to shut down or drastically shrink.

  23. The best past about this is that, whether or not Texags stop bringing on Hart, the fact that he had to go through this exercise at ALL has to sour the fuck out of him. If I were him, I would 100% be sharpening by backhanded compliments as it relates to Texas A&M in every single game going forward. You can't deal with this shit and not alter your perception of a school and it's fans. And that shit bleeds through from every broadcaster I've ever listened to as well. They whine and moan all the time about how Texas owns the media and dictates all media narratives, and then they go out and literally piss of a national broadcast media guy, and they wonder why they get drug by everyone. They fucking do it to themselves, not just on the field, but in every other possible way managable. "Why is our fanbase so full of snowflakes?" They're so close to fucking getting it, but of course they never will...

  24. Today fucking sucked. Kate went fast today. No details, but she crossed the Bridge just before midnight. We were with her and it was the right thing to do, but it never makes it easier. She had a wonderful 14 years on this earth. You were our social butterfly, Miss Katie Bug. I know Pippa and Winston are happy to see you.

  27. This. He is a malevolent force. Stop supporting him in any way. That means "stop giving him money," which is the sole foundation of his power. And as for the bolded....the truly sad thing we've seen in this recent timeline is that most people who matter.....would rather live as cowards, being simps playing up to Elmo so they can be in the "in group" rather than having any honor, or sense of duty, decency, and humanity. We need people of conviction and courage. It seems that the number of such people is approaching zero.

  28. I went through about a 2-year bout of post-divorce insanity and dated a cam girl who liked knives, voodoo, and heart-shaped sunglasses. I didn't know about the cam stuff until we'd been dating for a few months. I embraced the insanity and had a running thread for a while on the old site. SquishMitten got the acronym right.

Selena Gomez has put a ton of her money and fame into a lot of humanitarian and philanthropic causes, including mental health and undocumented immigration issues...she was actually an EP for a Netflix series on the latter issue. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10977486/?ref_=ext_shr she is as powerless to stop the onslaught as the rest of us at this point despite having like a top three social media following in the world.

  30. Win elections. Put winning first. Right now, in 2025, Texas Democrats are discouraging straight white men from seeking nominations in Texas over representational concerns, even in some gerrymandered Republican-held offices, literally telling them that a straight white man will have trouble getting past the primary base. Stop organizing to lose Texas. Stop putting money ahead of attention. Stop running tickets from the top down. Stop appealing to groups. Stop chanting litanies of magic words and using insider shorthand like “project 2025” and “opportunity economy” that only the base and The Groups understand. Put winning first. Contest every race from county commissioner up. Recruit good local candidates in the reddest of red races. Invade their spaces. Go on their podcasts. Be a guest on their shows. Stay on Twitter. Get on Truth. Be interesting. Be funny. Be cool and athletic and popular and good looking. Run the guy/gal who fucks. Only talk about real shit in real people terms. Make fun of questions about fake shit and work the refs. Saying Democrats need better messaging is like saying people with AIDS need to dress appropriately for cold weather.

  31. So I finally got word from warranty on Friday that they will build me a new motor. My truck went down 9/20/24. now that it’s resolved I can tell yall what’s been going on. The oil sample and computer history were inconclusive in determining what caused the failure so they requested that I have the motor pulled stripped down to the long block and shipped to their facility in Colorado to be torn down and inspected. The shop in MD pulled the motor and shipped it with everything on it. Both manifolds, valve cover, oil pan, front and rear assemblies, and the turbo. I received an email from warranty that they did not deal with those parts but could strip them and scrap them in order to inspect. As you can imagine I decided against this. Since it was the shop in MD’s fault they paid to have it shipped back to them. Somewhere in the process the motor was damaged, MD says it looks like it was dropped off of the truck. The damaged parts were all the parts I mentioned above and the ECM. So then they had to file an insurance claim against the shipping company. The damage to the parts was over $20k. They finally got the motor stripped and shipped to CO on 12/23/24. CO did the tear down and inspection and they can not find any “smoking gun” that caused the failure. once I have the motor back in my possession and running I will tell you about some of the conversations I’ve had with them. Most of them not pleasant as you can imagine. tldr: sparkle cake is getting a new heart through warranty.

  32. The word “start” means fuckall to the way Baker/Nansen/PK rotates the DL. You think Bill Norton gave a shit he wasn’t labeled a “starter?” He and Lole played tons, in key situations. We need more players at that position, and you’d assume the Ohio State kid has good athleticism with the soccer background. I don’t know where we stand with the Ohio State coaching hire (could he follow Knowles to PSU or be asked to stay in Columbus?), but you’d think he’d have great insight into whether Kanu can play. And I’m certain he’s much further along as a prospect than Mbatchou is, having played a couple years under Larry Johnson.

  36. Tom Hart has learned an important lesson: win, lose, or draw, Aggies never shut the fuck up. And they can't just take that they monumentally collapsed and should be embarrassed of it, they have to make complete asses of themselves and make sure everyone knows how outraged they are. At Tom Hart.

  37. Surprise. Anytime anyone reminds them of their deepest fear, that they are second fiddle to Texas, that they will never be on equal footing with Texas, they really fucking get their insecure panties in a wad. This is another example of how got damn insecure they are.
